They can dual wield their fists.

Honestly, this just seems like a horrible idea to me. I'd much rather the Dulrik's time get spent on something else.

After performing some tests as far as weaponry, speed, and buffs from fury go, and were it to be created properly, I have come to the conclusions that this would in fact be a slight debuff were barbarians to partake in dual wielding. So I suppose not, oh well. No loin clothed dual axe wielding berserking barbarians for me.

I love this idea. But it would only work if Barbarians were reduced from heavy armor to light armor. The idea of a blood mad berserker wearing a loin cloth, leather jerkin, and boots for armor and holding an axe and say a dagger and going wild on people right left and center is classic barbarian. Like all those great SSOC comic covers.

If they got dual wield and lost heavy armor they should get something called enhanced dodge. Which basically makes their dodges kick [REDACTED]. No e-parry for barbarians though that's to techinical of a skill. Enhanced dodge would just make use of their cat like reflexes to make them fairly hard to hit.

You should also be able to counterstrike the stealing skill.

No. Sorcerors are already spoiled enough.
